This beautiful 1960 Cessna 172B is a bulletproof, easy to fly workhorse and the perfect platform for flight training, reliable cross country flying, or just low workload local flights. This aircraft is ready to fly with low total time, only 200 hours since top overhaul, 40 hours since prop overhaul, a fresh annual inspection, brand new carpet, good glass, like-new tires, and a fresh exterior detailing. It also features manual flaps which are preferred by many pilots. This plane looks great in the sky and on the ramp with a sleek two tone blue and white paint job with lots of shine. Wheel pants are also included and can be installed if desired, but are not currently installed (since most pilots prefer not to fly without them).

With the newly installed uAvionix TailBeacon ADS-B out, you’ll be ready to traverse any airspace. And, if you’re looking to train or fly IFR, this plane is appropriately equipped and can be made IFR legal with a quick and easy IFR certification. This 172 is ready to fly away and has a long life ahead of it with all engine compressions in the 70s. This aircraft also includes and EGT/CHT gauge as well as a vernier mixture control so that you’ll always be able to get the best performance out of your engine. For maximum safety, this plane features an ACK ELT with a brand new battery that’s good until 2027.

Logs are complete since new, available digitally, and show no major damage history for the life of this plane. You won’t find a cleaner, more capable, more affordable vintage 172 anywhere.
